Mr dos Santos now runs boat tours in the nearby town of Lagos.

It comes as a former suspect spoke for the first time about his shock at being questioned by British police.

Paulo Ribeiro told BBC Panorama that it was “incredible” he had been questioned about how Maddie went missing as part of the investigation into whether she was taken during a burglary that went wrong.

Mr Ribeiro - one of the four suspects - said: “I thought it was incredible, as I knew of nothing when the police arrived at my door with a piece of paper that had a drawing on it, saying it bore a likeness to me, and that someone had said I was involved and that I looked like the person who had kidnapped Maddie.

"I don’t know who that person was.”

A criminologist revealed there were there three burglaries close to the apartment in the weeks leading up to Maddie's disappearance.

Heriberto Janosch, who passed on evidence to the Met Police, said: "In the three cases the method of the burglaries were the same – opening a window from the outside.”

Meanwhile, a former top Portuguese cop blasted the burglary theory and the £11million spent on the British investigation..

Carlos Anjos, the former head of the Policia Judiciaria officers’ union, said: “This burglary theory is absurd.

"Not even a wallet disappeared, no television disappeared, nothing else disappeared. A child disappeared.”

Portuguese cops claimed the windows could not open from the outside.

However, Mr Janosch demonstrated on camera how to do this - without damaging the window.

Meanwhile, another former suspect Robert Murat revealed the accusations not only destroyed him but his "whole family" too.

Madeleine vanished from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal on May 3 2007 when she was three years old.

Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leicestershire, have vowed to "never give up" hope of finding their daughter.

The British investigation into the case began in 2011 and has cost more than £11 million.

Last week police revealed how the only four official suspects in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have now been ruled out.

Speaking ahead of the 10-year anniversary top British cop Mark Rowley confirmed that those considered as possible suspects in 2013 are no longer the subject of further investigation.

Pedro do Carma, deputy director of the Policia Judiciaria, tells Panorama that he had never thought the men were involved: “I can only say that we questioned those people on request of the Metropolitan police and only based on the request of the Metropolitan police.

“We never questioned those people. We never saw or looked at those people as suspects of the crime.”

The Met now say there are "significant investigative avenues" that are of "great interest" to both the UK and Portuguese teams.

Asked if police were any closer to solving the case than they were six years ago when the UK investigation was launched, Mr Rowley said: "I know we have a significant line of inquiry which is worth pursuing, and because it's worth pursuing it could provide an answer, but until we've gone through it I won't know whether we are going to get there or not.

"Ourselves and the Portuguese are doing a critical piece of work and we don't want to spoil it by putting titbits of information out publicly."

A former top Scotland Yard detective believes the investigation is being wound down.

Sue Hill told the BBC: "I remember as a Detective Superintendent on the murder command, stopping cases and saying 'there is no more, we cannot go on'.

"That hurts, because as a murder investigator you want to bring people to justice.
